FYE is ten times worse. don't expect paying under $20 for a record, even for the garbage albums in the corner nobody looks at.

I usually order them off of Amazon.

Oh god I hate FYE. High prices and a bad selection, hooray! There's a big FYE in downtown Philly in the space that used to be occupied by Tower Records and you know what? Even with all that space, they still suck. I just can't wrap my mind around how they can take the exact same retail space that Tower used to fill with a pretty solid selection and somehow still have the same limited selection as their small stores at the mall.

There's a big record store over here in Amsterdam that's slightly over priced but has a good selection. I still rarely go there since they have many discount CDs and I always walk out with big stacks of albums and a huge hole in my budget.
